TUFFSTUFF COMMERCIAL STRENGTH

Since 1971 TuffStuff Fitness International has focused on one thing, the design and development of premium strength equipment.

Over the last five decades, TuffStuff has manufactured the highest quality strength equipment and set the industry standards against which all other equipment is measured. TuffStuff’s craftsmanship is recognized worldwide, and their products are sold across the United States, Canada, Mexico and in more than thirty other countries.

Today TuffStuff is the only fitness company in the United States with a full-service manufacturing facility, capable of producing every product they sell. Every design and engineering process begins in Chino, California – from concepts to prototypes, testings and design refinements. As a result, TuffStuff has greater flexibility to customize products, faster turn around times, and maintains a higher level of quality control than competitors.

TuffStuff’s commercial strength equipment is built to exacting standards, with full commercial-grade components including 7 and 11-gauge tubular steel, inert-gas MIG welded construction, and certified USA-made cables. Whether you are looking to outfit the world’s finest health club, or you just need a single equipment station that will stand the test of time, with TuffStuff you will receive unmatched product quality and exceptional support.

Donny Penado, our Chief Operating Officer, has close to three decades of experience in the fitness industry. Having held nearly every position available at TuffStuff, Mr. Penado is intimately familiar with the company’s operations and personnel.

In 1988, Mr. Penado started his career as the company truck driver making local pickups for misc. parts, and cleaning the facility. Early on, Mr. Penado’s tireless work ethic caught the attention of the company’s CEO, Sherman Grider, and he was promoted to Traffic Manager. Then he left CalGym to be a part of Sherman’s new venture, Task Industries Inc., in 1989.

Under Sherman Grider’s mentorship, Mr. Penado learned to pick up on intricate production details and subsequently rose to be Plant Manager in 1993. By making himself accessible and striving to understand and learn from fellow employees, Mr. Penado gained insight into each aspect of the company’s manufacturing process. In 2006, Mr. Penado took over responsibility for all of TuffStuff’s daily operations as General Manager. Today, as the C.O.O. he continues to emphasize TuffStuff’s core values and align the team to develop the highest quality strength equipment while providing exceptional customer service.

Cammie Grider, Chief Executive Officer, took full responsibility managing the company’s daily operations, resources and strategic direction after her husband and founder, Sherman Grider passed in 2016. An educated woman and owner of her own business, Cammie lends her expertise to marketing and financial directions as well as new product developments and design improvements. The success of TuffStuff’s continued domination in the fitness industry is credited to her willingness to meet customers’ specific needs and one-on-one personal relationship with our loyal customers.

Immediately after taking the helm, Cammie reinforced TuffStuff’s commitment to family and put in place numerous events and initiatives to create an open culture that encourages motivation and inspiration among the employees (a trademark largely attributable to Sherman Grider, founder). Personal birthday cards, holiday raffles and office decorations, quarterly luncheons, and TuffStuff-branded apparel for all employees are a few of the steps to continue the “happy” working environment, administration or factory workers, all alike. As part of her objectives, she has an open-door policy to invite all employees to talk to her regardless of subject matter.

Cammie continues her husband’s legacy of manufacturing the best strength equipment in America. The fitness industry has changed drastically in the last fifteen years, where many fitness companies have taken all manufacturing overseas and are unable to produce the products they sell. Cammie has promised to keep the “MADE IN AMERICA” theme alive as long as she is the CEO of this company. The mission is clear, manufacturing more here at our facility in Chino, California!

Kenny Carter

HEAD OF RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Kenneth “Kenny” Carter, our Head of Research and Development, has close to four decades of experience in the fitness industry. In partnership with Sherman Grider, Kenny helped to pioneer the design and engineering systems behind numerous strength equipment innovations and patents, and is responsible for many of the fitness industry’s current standards for strength equipment quality, form, and function.

In 1983, Kenny Carter started his career with California Gym Equipment Company cutting, drilling, welding, and polishing strength equipment. Kenny’s innate understanding of engineering blended well with the visions of the company’s CEO, Sherman Grider. Together they worked through numerous prototypes and designs to make strength equipment more dynamic, user-friendly, appealing and effective. By the end of that year, California Gym Equipment become the first company to introduce the Pec Dec attachment on a home gym.

Over the next 30+ years, Kenny Carter lead the engineering behind many of TuffStuff’s iconic products and features. Including the development of new home gym attachment stations and capabilities, intricate cable and pulley systems, adjustable cams with pull-pins, multi-stack and modular equipment series, variable weight resistance machines, and space-efficient equipment designs (including corner units with small footprints)

Today, Kenny continues to innovate and enhance the form and function of TuffStuff’s products. His latest engineering contribution includes following through with Sherman Grider’s final vision, to create the very first resistance machines to incorporate multi-planar linear arc movement. Three years in the making, the end result is TuffStuff’s patented Bio-Arc Strength Series, which keeps the user’s entire body moving along a linear arc trajectory with each machine to optimize muscle recruitment.

Pete Asistin

VICE PRESIDENT OF GLOBAL SALES

Pete Asistin, our Vice President of Global Sales, has over 46 years of experience in the fitness industry. Having established two fitness companies, and served in numerous roles at CalGym and TuffStuff Fitness International over a 33-year period, Pete has played an integral role in the company’s growth in both consumer and commercial markets.

In 1972 Pete started his career in the fitness industry as Financial Controller for Marcy Gym Equipment Company in Glendale, CA. It didn’t take long for Pete’s personable character to become recognized, and management persuaded him to switch from a “bean counter” to sales, and he’s never looked back. In 1979, Pete Asistin used his industry knowledge and relationships to set up one of the first specialty fitness stores, Califitness Products Network, in Los Angeles, CA. At the time there were only a handful of these specialty fitness retail stores in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. Using his store as a base of operations, Pete also conducted outside commercial, as well as retail sales, to widen his market reach.

In 1982, Sherman Grider, the President & CEO of California Gym Equipment Company (“CalGym”), hired Pete Asistin shortly after purchasing CalGym from his parents who founded the company. During this time CalGym was about to unleash its secret weapon, the MASTERLINE 500, the first free-standing home gym, and Pete’s responsibility was to help market and distribute the new product. By the mid-1980’s, the company established itself as a pioneer and the premier manufacturer of home gyms. Not too long afterwards, Sherman Grider then sold CalGym to a Texas company.

In 1990, Pete Asistin founded Califitness Product Corporation to design and manufacture custom home gyms for celebrities. In collaboration with Mark Harigian, a highly-regarded Hollywood celebrity trainer, some of their clients included Cindy Crawford, Nancy Sinatra, Bob Saget, Steven Seagal, Tom Hanks and Tom Selleck.

Then in 1993, in a consultant capacity, Pete reunited with Sherman Grider, who had since created a new line of non-selectorized strength equipment, benches and power racks, called Tuff Stuff, under the Task Industries Inc. banner. Around the same time, Sherman Grider was offered the opportunity to buy back CalGym, which he did, and Pete assisted in the transition. Sherman coaxed Pete to join the new entity, Task Industries, as the Western Regional Sales Manager, and thus started his second career with the company.

In 2004, Task Industries Inc. rebranded itself as TuffStuff Fitness Equipment, Inc. In 2005, Pete Asistin was promoted to Vice President of International Sales, and grew TuffStuff’s brand and dealer base globally through strong relationships. Because of the growing success internationally, the company rebranded again in 2014 to TuffStuff Fitness International Inc.

Today, TuffStuff has dealers and distributors located across Asia, North America, South America, The Middle East, and Europe, with international sales accounting for more than 30 percent of the company’s business, and still growing.
